The creation of the original houses is becoming a fashionable trend in modern urban planning. Such an unusual complexes have become the rule rather than the exception, because in many countries a very urgent shortage of land for development.

Many of the architectural Agency recognized so the original revolutionary project, but residents of the city, these towers are called “two huge cardboard boxes”.

The height of the building is 82 meters and the width of the Northern facade is only 2 meters. This is one of the world’s first such a narrow and unusual buildings were designed and built by architect Daniel Burnham in 1902.

And the unusual shape was due to the fact that the land in the city was very expensive, and squeeze with such a small triangular plot had everything to the max.

Because each floor has only three flats, with all rooms located on the ends of the house, with a spectacular view through the glass walls.

6. Narrowest house in Kisarazu (Japan)

The narrow building is located in the heart of Ushigome (Ushigome), in the city of Kisarazu (Kisarazu City), where the construction of houses allocated very little space. Therefore, in Japan such fine facilities are no longer considered as something extraordinary and rare. This house has a very original semi-circular balconies that offer their inhabitants a 180-degree view of the surroundings. Not only are regular apartments, but even managed to run a restaurant.

8. “Thin House” in London (United Kingdom)

This incredible “Thin House” became a very popular tourist attraction. When approaching the house from the West side, I see his face only 2.1 meters, and I think that such a fine building should fall. But it’s just an illusion because the house is triangular in shape, and the width of the building from the other end reaches 10 meters. The reason for this unusual shape is in the location of the building, because from this angle there is a railway line, and the remaining piece of land started building.

When construction was in full swing, it was discovered that funds ended and the architect took the unusual decision of changing the project. That turned out very fine house with the front facade looks quite ordinary building in the style of old Odessa.

But if you look at the building with the end part of the very shocking sight, because the width of the house is only 1 meter! Because of this amazing and mystical appearance, the house received a very scathing called “Witch house”.

But nothing mystical design no home, and only the skillful use of optical illusion that is created due to the fact that the side walls of the houses are designed at an acute angle.

10. House wall in Saint-Petersburg (Russia)
